Share Your World – Week 21

A week late sharing my world with you all, but here it is! Once again, thanks to Cee for the wonderful questions! It’s been a crazy week for me, with my teaching schedule in summer swing again and the little one with only four more days of preschool before he’s unleashed to the world for the summer (one is never prepared for that!). I’m also at 95K words of a modern-day novel that I need to finally wind down – so my mind as always is elsewhere but where it’s supposed to be.

Anyway, for now, it’s here, sharing my mundane world to you and hope that you join in, too!

If you could make a 15 second speech to the entire world, what would you say?

Life is what you make of it. Don’t wait to say what you want to say till it’s too late – do it now and love often, if not always.

If you could take a photograph, paint a picture or write a story of any place in the world, what and where would it be?

Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve always been enamored of the British and Irish isles, whether it’s the bustling cities, high cliffs along the chilly coast, or the rolling hills and valleys where one stumbles upon standing stones of the past. I love listening to the accents rolling off people’s tongues, immerse myself in the stories of the Celtic gods and goddesses who walked the earth, and wonder just how such a world smells like.

If you had to spend one weekend alone in a single store but could remove nothing, which store would you pick?

Ikea. They have beds and everything I need to keep myself comfortable and even a cafeteria where I can gorge on Swedish meatballs all weekend. And when the weekend is over, I can get up and leave. Unfortunately they don’t have any books – other than those fake ones – which would probably make my weekend stay a living hell.

If you were given a boat or yacht today, what would you name it? (You an always sell the yacht later)

I’m not a boat person at all, yacht or whatever you can throw my way. But should I receive a boat – though a yacht is more my thing – then it’s got to have only one name. Mischief Managed.
